If you like your leather bags chic, yet understated and versatile, then put the Camille 16 Soft on your radar. New for the season, the hobo-style bag is the latest addition to Celine’s coveted 16 Soft line. Inspired by the structured cut of the Cabas 16 Soft tote bag, the Camille embodies effortless elegance and Parisian chic.
A top-open style, it secures by way of a leather strap with the maison’s iconic gold-finish turn-lock closure. Shaped like a discreet jewel, the lock opens to reveal a roomy main compartment. This, along with an inner zip pocket for quick-access items, can comfortably hold all your daily essentials.

The Camille 16 Soft also scores extra points for versatility, thanks to two removable leather straps. Use the shorter strap for refined shoulder carry or the longer adjustable strap for more casual crossbody wear. Dual rings on each side of the bag let you affix and wear both straps either together or separately. The dual rings also make accessorising with a bag charm or two a cinch.
The new style launches in two sizes. You’ll find the smaller (SGD4100) one at 24.5 cm by 21.5 cm in three timeless colours, Black, Tan, and Rice. Whereas the medium (SGD4650) comes in at 36 cm by 29.5 cm and a choice of either Black or Tan. And if you prefer something a little more exotic, there’s also a natural python finish in the small size.
Fashioned in refined calfskin leather, the Camille 16 Soft offers just the right balance of structure, slouch and suppleness. Plus, the soft touch and shiny finish certainly add further allure to Celine’s latest offering.
